In this article we describe our experiences with interoperable data management and instrument control standards in the Western Mediterranean Cabled Observatory, OBSEA (www.obsea.es) (Figure 1). The SARTI research group ...

The OBSEA laboratory has integrated an IP-Video camera that works 24 hours per day recording images of local fauna. These images have been analyzed in order to identify the different marine organisms in the vicinities.

Many changes are occurring in the physical, chemistry and biology processes of the ocean. Understanding how these changes are driven is an element of the key environmental descriptors identified by the European Marine ...

In this paper is described the different items of a subsea observatory. The control system is constantly monitoring the internal and external components of the observatory detecting operating faults and acting automatically ...

A cabled system for collecting real-time seismic data has been developed and was deployed in spring of 2011. Nowadays (2013) this seismic station is being part of the Catalan Seismic Network managed by the IGC (Institut ...

This OGC Engineering Report documents the work performed by the participants of the Ocean Science Interoperability Experiment Phase II. This work is a follow-on to the OGC Oceans IE Phase 1 activity. Specifically, this IE ...

This paper presents a design of a marine instrument for the measurement of pH in seawater. The measurement system consists of a pH electrode connected to the underwater observatory OBSEA. The extracted data are useful for ...

This paper proposes an energy-efficient time synchronization scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) based on the IEEE 1588 standard. Although a number of methods have been studied for time synchronization of WSNs, some ...
